Tubal resection and anastomosis. II. Isthmic salpingitis. 1986

R P Jansen

The results of 30 consecutive operations for medial occlusion of the tube due to pathological processes other than sterilization are reported. Resection of the obstructed segments was followed by anastomosis of lateral isthmus or ampulla to the medial isthmus, the interstitial portion of the tube, or the endometrium of the lateral uterine angle, deep in the myometrium. Life table analysis of subsequent pregnancies was carried out in a manner that kept those patients with demonstrated reocclusion after anastomosis in the denominator for the duration of longest follow-up, irrespective of further operations on these patients. The cumulative probability of pregnancy was 55% at 6 months from the time of surgery and 67% at 12 and at 15 months. Empirically, average fecundability, or monthly probability of pregnancy, was 9.3%; of 25 women followed-up and not on contraception, 14 (56.0%) have conceived. Microsurgical tubal anastomosis can effectively replace uterotubal implantation for acquired organic occlusion of the medial tube or lateral uterine angle. Optimum results require precise techniques, wide excision of abnormal endosalpinx, and preoperative treatment of endometritis.

D008866 Microsurgery The performance of surgical procedures with the aid of a microscope.
D011247 Pregnancy The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH. Gestation,Pregnancies
D005187 Fallopian Tubes A pair of highly specialized canals extending from the UTERUS to its corresponding OVARY. They provide the means for OVUM transport from the ovaries and they are the site of the ovum's final maturation and FERTILIZATION. The fallopian tube consists of an interstitium, an isthmus, an ampulla, an infundibulum, and fimbriae. Its wall consists of three layers: serous, muscular, and an internal mucosal layer lined with both ciliated and secretory cells.
